lpv:translated text	"I welcome the steps which have been taken so far by Turkey, but I want to stress that there is still considerable progress to be made. Specific measures need to be taken in areas such as freedom of the press, the status of women in Turkish society, dialogue between the political parties and, in particular, recognition of Cyprus, which is an EU Member State. This conflict casts a huge shadow over Turkey’s EU accession negotiations. This is why Turkey must demonstrate proper determination to resolve the dispute. However, I think that Turkey’s accession negotiations must advance to encourage reforms in this country, bearing in mind that Turkey provides a model for the Arab countries. Turkey would help spread stability in the volatile regions beyond its eastern and southern borders. It is also worth mentioning how important Turkey is to the European Union as it is a key player in the energy sector. Turkey’s integration into the EU can be beneficial to both sides, in the short and medium term and, most of all, in the long term."@en1
